I certainly remember him, which is why I could easily believe that he
might accuse you of being possessed by the devil. However, I don't
remember him actually doing so. Since he spent a lot of time in my
killfile, that's not exactly unlikely.
I had considerable trouble finding a message that I think is the basis
for what you said. On 2014-11-11, Rick C. Hodgin responded to one of
your comments by referring to "cold, hate-filled evil spirits speaking
through your mouth.". He didn't mention the Devil, or Satan (though he
referred to Satan in many places in that same message), or possession. I
think he meant only that a devil (as opposed to The Devil) had inspired
you to say those things, and NOT that you were being possessed by that
devil.
It's a matter of responsibility: when a devil tempts you to say things
you shouldn't, it's you're responsibility for giving into temptation. If
a devil possesses you, everything you do while under possession is that
devil's responsibility, not yours.
I think you know this, but for the sake of others less familiar with me:
I'm an atheist, and believe none of this; I'm just describing what I
think he believes. And I think that the things you said that triggered
that comment were completely innocuous.
